In the past week or so we've started having server busy issues with our Spiceworks install, it runs on a VM and I'd reduced the amount of memory from around 3.5GB to 1.8 GB as I needed more resources on the Virtual Host for another VM.

I made the change last Tuesday and on Friday evening we started to get the Server Busy screen. Played around with the VM config again today but it has had zero affect so I think the resource change is coincidental.

I'm now installing the latest version of Spicwwork to see if this fixes things but I did notice that it said when it was backing up the Spiceworks Directory it was 3GB so had a look at what that actually is (detailed below) in the Spiceworks Directory.

2.93 GB - sys_backup

2.72 GB - dmp

1.26 GB - data

856.34 MB - log

501.34 MB - httpd

255.48 MB - db

Then a few other folders and files that don't really add up to much more than 100 MB

Are we suffering from bloat? I have just short of 10,000 tickets in the database with various attachments and quite a lot of comments.
